A side story or a spinoff of of a published work. It is not considered as a prequel or a sequel. Some gaidens are just stories retold from another character's perspective, or a flashback.
In a gaiden of Dragon Knights, by Mineko Ohkami, Rune has a nightmare of everyone becoming crossdressers.
Awesome game where you go around killing ninjas, dragons and fiends with ninja weapons and fireballs (there are actually several different types of "ninpo"). It is the sequel to Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox (obviously), and you play as Ryu Hayabusa. It is also insanely hard and will require a lot of skill and patience, especially on Path of the Master Ninja, or even Path of the Mentor.

<MasterNinja2983> ...Ninja Gaiden 2 takes a lot of skill. It's a good game, maybe you just need more practice.
<BLIZZARDRULZ11216> NO, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
If you're one of those whiny adolescent morons who threatens complete strangers with violence over Xbox Live despite the fact you haven't even got hairs on your chin, don't play Ninja Gaiden Black. The sudden jolt back to reality may annihilate you.
Ninja Gaiden is the long-running Tecmo action series of video games. Originating as an arcade brawler, the series' most notable titles on home consoles are the three titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the recent Xbox title (and its rerelease titled "Ninja Gaiden Black"), which was the first Ninja Gaiden title in over a decade.
The last title especially is a particularly awesome game, the kind of game that isn't afraid to kick your ass (but without cheating you, because cheating is for wimps and commies). It's the type of game that the disgraceful "casual gamer" will give up on because it's "too hard," but anyone with the proper combination of brains and balls can't get enough of such an awesome game. In fact, if the term "too hard" exists in your vocabulary, you have no brains nor balls.
Ninja Gaiden is so sweet you'll want to crap your pants...in a good way. That is, unless you suck at video games and life.
Ninja Gaiden n. One of the greatest sidescrolling hack n' slash videogame series' ever to grace the Nintendo Entertainment System. And it stars a NINJA!! 'Nuff said. (Note: Not to be confused with the newly updated 3D version for the X Box; we're talking old-school here!)
The name of the anime series starring a boy who meets a guy named Masarusan, who has a fighting style called, "The Sexy Commando".
To do the Sexy Commando, Masarusan unzips his pants (That's right kiddies) to distract the opponent. Then, he goes at them, violently attacking them with his fist. Sometimes he likes to gross his opponent out by having pigeons fly out of his pants.

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.
The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
